iPad Pro- Apple’s Greatest Tablet Unveiled!

Here is the iPad Pro, which is touted to be Apple’s latest and greatest tablet. The iPad Pro was introduced during the fall event held on September 9. As expected, it features a fantastic 12.9-inch display coupled with a few neat features tucked within its hood which makes it stand out.
The iPad Pro, according to Apple honcho Tim Cook is the best thing since iPad and it can run iPad Air apps side-by-side too. It is aimed for Apple lovers who are used to this gadget.

Salient Features

The iPad Pro is like a bigger iPad Air, and features a strong aluminium casing, extremely thin bezels and beautifully curved edges. With a 2,732 x 2,048 display, it can display better and can even take advantage of split-screen multitasking, which means two apps can run side by side. It can even take advantage of the new features like the picture-in-picture video playback that has been recently introduced with iOS9.
It compares favorably with the 12-inch retina MacBook. But, both devices are powered by very different operating systems, Macbook OS X and iOS respectively.
The iPad Pro features a front and rear camera along with two speakers, one is placed at the top and the other is placed at the bottom of the device (four speakers). It also includes a Lightning port, a small headphone jack, beautiful side buttons, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The cellular model is available with LTE, and this is a differentiating feature.

iPad Pro – The Intrinsic Power of the Desktop Class

The iPad Pro includes an A9X chip, a 64-bit chip with 2GB RAM and immensely quick flash storage. The tablet is expected to be 80 percent faster than the portable PCs that have been launched in recent times. It also includes 10 hours of battery life. It is a bit thicker compared to iPad Air and weighs just about 1.57lb.
With 78 percent more screen real estate than the iPad Air 2, the design is dead-on and viewing becomes increasingly easy with the new model. iPad Pro is available in Gold, Silver, and Space Gray colours.
The internal hardware of the new gadget is on par with desktop-class systems. The light weight nature of the device and its enormous touchscreen helps enhance the impact of working with diverse applications using its incredibly intuitive touch-based input methods.
